I've seen this figure online, but I don't know the scale or source.
I think it's part of a larger series or set. Amazing realism!
If anyone can help me find it, I would appreciate it.

Looks like it's Russian. I put the image into Google and came up with this:

Cool. To me it looks like a 3d scanned person with some subsequent touchup.
Here is their facebook page, not sure how to go about ordering though.

Oh wait, here you go. Figures are available in a number of scales.

Well, I check all those links, but I still haven't seen that figure.
I saw tires, many other figures, some very nice... but not that one.

Look in Modern Civilians, Pick a scale, Modern Truck Driver with safety boots

Good heavens! With figures that good I'm going to have to improve my modeling! -- Russ
OK, now I found it. Thanks.
If these are as good as the pictures,
it's a whole new level of detail and realism in model figures.

So the figure is 1/87????? and can you order him in 1/24?
Very nice figures.
All of them are based on scanning of actual people, and they are original prints. No castings as far as I can see.
I do not know what printer he uses, but the quality of the prints is excellent.
They are made with and SLA 3D printer from Envisiontec. The models look great and on the Facebook page you can follow the methods to avoid the layering from printing. My only problem with this kind of production is that the resins themselves are photo sensitive which means they don't stop curing over time. I mean we cure the resins with UV light but with time the pieces keep shrinking when exposed to uv light. I also have a SLA DLP printer and I wouldn't try to print final products with it, I only use it for prototyping, I'm worried with the medium/long term exposition of the pieces to the light. Even when painted the curing process doesn't stop from what I read.
